We used to get them in boxes of breakfast cereal.

Yeah. I don't recall whether it came in the cereal box or if I sent a
quarter offf somewhere with a boxtop.

I sent off a quarter. And it was a "frogman.' Never saw a sub.
It was good for a month waiting for the mail, and then 5 minutes of
watching it go up and down.
Money would have been better spent on a squirt gun.

Did anything you got for 2 box tops and a quarter really live up to
the expectations?

The rubber band shooting handgun I got when I was 9 did. It was a semi-automatic.

We built those with a wood frame and a clothespin.
